row_33 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Just now, stuvian said: i will never forgive the Marv Levy regime for ignoring him when he was in our own backyard I seem to recall him getting more than a few features on the Buffalo sportscasts during his high school and University days. plus his family and local scouts would have been touting him all those years as well My fave 2/4/7 local feature was a huge hoops player in high school who blocked a shot so hard it went 20 feet in the air and slammed off the wall over his team’s bench and they were so used to this they didn’t even react 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Mays couldn't play safety as well as a number of much much lesser athletes, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It seems Gronk and I have something in common, looking forward rather than thru the rear window. I like that his return seems damn near impossible from the looks of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just reported on NFLRadio that Gronk was seen working out with and catching passes from Tom Brady earlier today. Expect his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
